Abstract

We demonstrate a unique, ultrasonic direct injection method that employs nanophase materials (e.g. polymers, metal-organic and ceramic precursors). By use of in situ process control, and modification of process parameters, morphology, and structure may be varied to produce desired characteristics. By sequential application of these strategies one may fabricate MEMS, OLED's, deposit conformal coatings, create surface acoustic wave (SAW) chemical sensors, and many other thin film circuits and devices.
